Ingredients

• 8 Cups chicken broth
• 0.5 Cups fresh lemon juice
• 0.5 Cups carrots, shredded
• 0.5 Cups onion, minced
• 0.5 Cups celery, minced
• 6 Tablespoons chicken soup base
• 0.25 Teaspoon white pepper, ground
• 0.25 Cups margarine
• 0.25 Cups all-purpose flour
• 8 Egg yolks, whisked
• 1 Cup white rice, cooked
• 1 Cup chicken meat, diced
• 16 Slices lemon

Steps

1. Gather all the ingredients.
2. In a large pot, combine chicken broth, lemon juice, carrots, onions, celery, chicken soup base, and white pepper. Bring to a boil over high heat, then reduce the heat and simmer for 15 to 20 minutes until the vegetables are tender.
3. In a small bowl, blend margarine and flour. Gradually stir this mixture into the soup. Simmer, stirring frequently, for 8 to 10 minutes.
4. In a separate bowl, whisk the egg yolks until light in color. Gradually whisk in some hot soup, using a ladle to pour in a thin stream while whisking the egg yolks vigorously. Add the egg mixture back into the pot in the same manner and heat through.
5. Add the cooked rice and chicken to the pot; cook until warmed through.
6. Ladle the hot soup into bowls and garnish each with a lemon slice.

Recipe Tip: Taste the soup after Step 1. If the chicken broth is already well-seasoned, you may not need to add additional chicken soup base. Adjust to taste.
